The province never has to ask the city to do anything, regardless of the political party in government at Queen's Park or the mayor and council at Toronto City Hall. It has always been a political courtesy, not a constitutional requirement. If Doug Ford actually only wants specific slivers of...

The federal government may not have that power by law. However, if Ottawa decides not to go along with the airport expansion, Doug Ford’s supposed justification for all of this expropriation collapses.

Referring to the images in the following article, tell me @mcbg1, why does the province require so much of the city's land to improve Billy Bishop Airport? Why is provincial ownership of Bathurst Street, from south of the Gardiner Expressway to Queens Quay West, and all of Eireann Quay...

The Ontario government will be expropriating Little Norway Park:

Renforth is interesting because Metrolinx's station map seems to suggest that there will not be a Line 5 extension to Pearson Airport, despite what we occasionally hear from the government, and the media. Maybe Metrolinx will install a curve for Line 5 to head up Commerce Boulevard? Right now, I...

Is it still the case that all GO train lines terminate at Union Station? Or, do inbound Barrie trains become outbound Stouffville trains, for example?

Doubt that's happening as long as Don Valley West, Don Valley East, and Don Valley North are all Liberal MPPs.

I can see some form of the EELRT/SERT being implemented with support from other levels of government... Eventually. If the province announces Option 2B for the Sheppard Subway Extension, I also see the conversation about how to take transit to get to UTSC changing, including from UTSC...

So, the construction of Woodbine GO does not include a platform for UPX? And, it has never been stated as a future expansion in any official media release?

@cryogen , the link seems to go to a blank page.

Yes, I walked from Birchmount to Sloane tonight. There were shuttle buses, but I was not in a rush.

I think the BRT project is nearly zombie status at this point, other than those small pieces underway in Durham. If the Sheppard subway extension is announced to go to STC, I think the notion of Line 4 going to Centennial College (sort of), SHN Centennial Hospital, and U of T Scarborough will...

I have written to various city councillors, to the TTC, and to Metrolinx so many times over the years about your Scarborough-Durham BRT idea... So far, no takers!

It's a bad idea for me to wade into the station names debate, but it's the weekend. So, here goes... 🤪 Rename Corktown to King East Station. King Street ends one kilometre east of the station, with no possibility of being extended. Forget about picking one somewhat known neighbourhood name over...

The province rejected the TDSB in February 2025: https://www.tdsb.on.ca/Media/ctl/Details/mid/45105/itemid/426 The TDSB published its business case in September 2024...
